Wow. I actually agree with Elon Musk about something for once, what a shock!

Tom Scott has a very good video explaining why electronic voting is terrible all around and it will probably never be secure.

That's loads of BS. Manual in person voting is easily scammed, just look at voting in Russia. Fuck this shit, everything should be 100% digital.

Paper voting leaves a literal paper trail unlike electronic voting that's always a total black box in all countries that have tried it.

Blockchain based voting leaves a permanent and indelible record on the blockchain for all to see.
